The Dutch composer Cornelis Thymanszoon Padbrué (ca.
1592–1670) wrote mostly music for vocal ensembles:
motets and madrigals, many of them on Dutch texts. His only
known instrumental works are two Pavane-Gaillarde pairs
composed as incidental music for weddings that took place in
Haarlem (where Padbrué was employed as a city
musician), on 23 April 1641 and 4 February 1642,
respectively. These polyphonic dances, pavana-gaillarde
pairs scored for one, resp. two high instrumental parts and
an (unfigured) bass, clearly show Padbrué’s
ability as a composer of instrumental music. The upper
voices can be played on the violin, recorder, cornetto
(Zink), etc., the bass on cello, bass viol,
bassoon, or, with the provided realization, on a keyboard
instrument of the time.
